subject: Mattress Shopping Made Easy: Choose A Serta [print this page] When its time to buy a new mattress, Serta makes the decision an easy one. Its slogan, The World Best Mattress, says it all. After decades in the mattress business, Serta has set the worlds standards for safe, comfortable bedding.
Almost 80 years ago, independent mattress manufacturers agreed that they needed to work together if there were to survive. They brought their expertise and knowledge together and formed a company called Serta. To ensure they were all working toward the same standards, Serta established guidelines for its mattress production. The result is history. Today, Seta makes its mattresses in the United States and Canada, but they are sold in 60 countries around the world.
Because it set the standard for mattresses, Serta has its own set of terms that you need to understand in order to appreciate what sets Serta apart from other mattresses:
Advanced Comfort Quilt gently cushions your body. The convoluted foam and fluffy fibers are built into Sertas quilt layering.
Continuous Support Innerspring means the mattress coils support you from head-to-toe, with even more support in the center where you will find a double row of coils to support your trunk. At last count, Continuous Support Innerspring meant there are 532 coils built into each mattress.
Convoluted Foam, also known as egg crate, cradles and supports your body, especially at the shoulders and hips. Serta was the first to mattress maker to use convoluted foam in its upholstery.
Comfort Foam is the soft foam at the sleep layer of the mattress.
FireBlocker is an open-flame resistant system used in every Serta mattress. Again, Serta was the first national mattress brand to offer a flame-retardant system to its customers.
Outlast Technology is a fabric used in Serta mattresses to help regulate body temperature by responding to the bodys temperature. It absorbs excess heat and helps to keep the sleepers temperature balanced.
Pillo-Fill Fiber is the plush surface of the mattress that draws away heat and moisture.
Total Edge Foam Encasement provides support on the edge of the mattress. People do more than sleep on a bed. They are also prone to sit on the edge of the while getting dressed or undressed. This encasement keeps the edges from breaking down. This is important when you realize that you could lose up to 20 percent of your beds sleep surface if it breaks down.
Visco Memory Foam was released to the public by NASA in the early 1980s. It softens in reaction to body heat, molding to a warm body quickly. Once the body rolls off that spot, the foam returns to its original shape. Serta uses memory foam to help relieve stress on the body by conforming to the sleepers body position.
One of the best-selling Serta mattresses is the Perfect Sleeper Distinction Super pillowtop mattress set. It is available in twin, full, queen, split queen, king and California king sizes.

Another popular mattress is Sertas Dashing Eurotop mattress. What makes it so popular are the combination of Outlast

Stable-Base Foundation, which provides consistent support across the bottom of the mattress. The result is it isolates the impact of one sleeper, while leaving a second sleeper undisturbed.
Serta Airbed
Serta also offers other lines of mattresses that are worth exploring, including an airbed. The Perfect Rest Four-Zone Premier Airbed lets you adjust the location and amount of air in your mattress.
